Evaluation Of A Method For Identification Of Candida Dubliniensis Bloodstream Isolates
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 2003)
To evaluate methods for differentiating Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis, 772 putative C. albicans bloodstream isolates were tested for growth at 37 and 42degreesC. Isolates showing no growth at 42degreesC, abundant ...
Comparative Evaluation Of Disk Diffusion With Microdilution Assay In Susceptibility Testing Of Caspofungin Against Aspergillus And Fusarium Isolates
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 2002)
We compared the disk diffusion and broth microdilution methods for susceptibility testing of caspofungin against Aspergillus (n = 78) and Fusarium (n = 22) isolates. Microdilution testing followed the NCCLS M-38P guidelines ...
Effect of Antioxidants on The Immune Response of Helicobacter Pylori
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2002)
Antioxidants are substances capable of inhibiting oxidation. In chronic diseases, inflammatory response cells produce oxygen free radicals. Oxygen free radicals cause DNA damage, and this may lead to gene modifications ...
Molecular Epidemiology Of Penicillin-Resistant Streptococcus Pneumoniae In A University Hospital, Ankara, Turkey
